The best time to take Acacia cuttings is when the material is really good, usually in late summer and early autumn. Most species can be propagated in January, February and March (under mist) with good results. Basic hygiene of using clean material and equipment, adequate cutting spacing in propagating pots/trays to maximise ventilation, and use of a fungicide post propagation time is beneficial.Your propagation area should have medium light intensity, not located in full sun, norcompletely heavy shade. Success is possible without the use of bottom heat and misting, but rooting will take longer, and cutting stress is more likely. The propagation mix used with good success with most Acacia varieties consists of 10 parts propagating sand, 6 parts perlite, and 1 part peat.

Propagation of Acacias is not highly technical. With the right material you can achieve good results with a wide range of garden cultivars.
